In one of the best Elite 8's I have a chance to witness, the 2010 Hightower team advanced to the state tournament by beating North Shore (55-52), Westside (55-48) and Bellaire (70-64) despite 40 points from a freshman you may have heard me talk about and nickname "The Real Deal"
The Hurricanes had some deals that turned out to be real as well as several young ladies from that team went on or will play at the next level however the young ladies in the above picture, Taylor and Tyler Gilbert, elevated their games from middle school so much that they turned out to be two of the most dominant inside players in the area
Taylor has had a string of bad luck, missing both her senior season as a Hurricane and also her freshman year with the Houston Cougars due to ACL injuries on both knees however she'll be back to join Tyler, above, next season.
